Interesting topic, but the article's writing style is god-awful and a bit hard to get through.

Mate, a good third of the countries on that list are currently suffering such brutal ethnic violence that it might be considered genocide. Close to half are riddled by islamic terrorism, usually directed towards ethnic minorites. At least two of them are in the middle of civil wars.

There's a not insignificant chance that it'll be the secured creditors' company soon 😂

To be fair, this is how people tend to react to change, generally. I remember every time Facebook or YouTube did a site redesign in the early 2010s people were always up in arms.

Jake and Amir parodied this well in their "Facebook Redesign" episode.

On the other hand, Google/Apple Pay are both pretty great products that replace a horrendous legacy payments system. Recall that for like 40 years the most innovative consumer payment system looked like this. And it was essentially a duopoly as well (Visa/Mastercard).

At the end of the day, cash is still a thing as well.

And also stop goes for hikes in the middle of a heat wave.

I haven't read either, but the following two are on my list:

• John Romero actually has a book coming out in like 3 days called DOOM Guy: Life in First Person
• Mark Brown from Game Maker's Toolkit recommends Spelunky by Derek Yu (by the dev of, well, Spelunky).

As a non-American, my confusion with this issue is that "coloured people" and "people of colour" are functionally identical phrases in the English language. Using coloured as an adjective vs a noun with "of" gets you to the exact same spot.

I appreciate that there is historical context, but I can't help but feel that the difference between offence and no offence essentially boils down to grammatical semantics. In my mind, barring slurs or perjoratives, the intention behind the phrase is really what matters.

This is some weird-ass propaganda article. The article frames this whole thing as a wronged war hero seeking justice, then just slips in a little tidbit that a court found he literally comitted war crimes, before going back to listing his medals.

A judge dismissed the defamation claims, finding the articles were substantially true. The judge also found Roberts-Smith was responsible for four of the six unlawful deaths he had been accused of.

I'm inherently skeptical that any kind of projector can match a modern OLED. What are your thoughts?

My dick is only out for one beautiful soul. RIP Harambe.

Fucked Up the Distro?
